Celestron mount issue was created by Dmitry

Hello. Im trying to use my celestron nexstar+ mount CG5 with Kstars+Ekos. After connecting camera and mount, im making a test capture. And it always show star tracks as if the mount tracking doesnt work, even if the capture duration is 5-10 seconds.
Does anybody found the same issue? MB, any solution?
PS when im using Windows7 + celestron ASCOM driver+ cartes du ciel+ BackyardEOS everything goes fine and i can capture 100sec frames without any guiding.
I tjink that Kstars/ekos chnages the mount behavior. Is there any setting so i can set up correct sync-tion or make ekos slaved to the mount.

After you slew to an object in KStars, does the RA stays constant in KStars or changes?

Yes. Ra value changes. But i forgot to set tracking mode to eq north. Today at night will test with eq north tracking mode.
